Spaces To Grow Up In

We all have a fondness for the home we lived in when we were young. At Mahoney Architects, we bring that sentiment to every project. We favor bright and cheerful designs that use the play of natural light to brighten not only your living spaces but also your spirits. But most important, we want it to feel like home. A place that makes you want to settle in and relax. A place your family feels connected to and a part of. A place with plenty of sunshine, love, nourishment and room to grow.

Integrating The Outdoors

We’re lucky. Here in The Bay Area we live in one of the most beautiful natural environments in the world. So it seems fitting that we specialize in bringing some of that natural beauty into our residential home designs.  Our approach allows for a natural integration of inside and out.

The Heart of The Home

Remember when kitchens were mostly just places to cook? Today they’ve become in so many ways the center of family living. A gathering place. An entertaining space. An informal dining room. And, yes, a place for preparing meals. Colleen has, literally, written the book on kitchen design. We’ve worked with chefs. So we get the functional requirements, and the family dynamics, that make a kitchen work for its many different uses. Including cooking.
